This tasty salad is found on High Ground Organics' website. With the sweet dressing, it would be tasty with kale instead of spinach. It would do well with a crumbly cheese, too like feta.
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups red leaf or red butter lettuce, washed, dried, and torn into bite-sized bits1 bunch spinach, stems removed, well washed and dried, torn into bite-sized bits1 pound filet beans, yellow or green, topped and blanched in boiling salted water until crisp-tender, then plunged into ice-water to stop

For those who attended the cooking class, this is the black bean recipe that we made. It is great as a burger or as a stuffing for peppers or whatever. We used our own cooked black beans and homemade salsa, but pantry items would work in a pinch. Thanks to Chef Robin Blair.

Pickled Green Beans
I had several people tell me they have a lot of beans and aren't sure what to do with them. Whenever you are in doubt as to what to do with something, my fall back is always pickling.

When I make a simple pasta salad for an event, I toss Italian dressing with pasta and throw in pickled vegetables.
So, here is how I pickled

Salad with Beans
This is my favorite salad-meal. Arrange lettuce leaves on a plate. No Dressing. Drop about one half cup of cooked beans into boiling salted water. When the beans are hot, strain them and place them on the lettuce leaves. Top with a poached egg. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle olive oil over the salad. Timing is everything. The warm beans, mixed with the creamy poached eggs and the olive oil are great with the crunch of the lettuce.

Week 2 CSA
I hope everyone enjoyed their week 1 bag. We had a lot of fun on deliveries last week. Everything went extremely well.
This week I'm quite excited for a few things. First, we have a great combination of unique products that both tell a story and taste excellent. The center piece, in my opinion, of this week's bag is a 2# bag of organic, black turtle beans. These come from a little bit further away than we like to get things
